By Joseph Constance, LabPulse.com contributing writerDecember 2, 2019 -- Smartphones are evolving into new point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tools, changing the way many common health conditions are initially diagnosed.
The technical capabilities of these phones have become so advanced that they can compete with technology once thought to be only the domain of physicians' offices and hospitals. Research groups and startup companies are developing apps and technology that turn smartphones into tools that can diagnose eye disease, perform home-based urinalysis, diagnose ear infections and respiratory disease, and help women learn about their reproductive health................... Meanwhile, in Australia, ResApp Health of Brisbane has developed technology that uses sound to diagnose respiratory disease. The company is using machine learning to develop algorithms that diagnose disease from cough and respiratory sounds, according to the ResApp website.
Researchers have generated a unique set of signatures and classifier technology that accurately characterize the respiratory tract. The diagnosis can be made using a high-quality microphone integrated into a smartphone, which can be useful in telehealth applications, for example.
In September, ResApp Health received the CE Mark for ResAppDx-EU version 2, the latest version of its smartphone diagnostic that now addresses both adults and children. This CE Mark approval adds the ability to test adults for lower respiratory tract disease, pneumonia, asthma exacerbation, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation. The first version tested for acute pediatric respiratory disease
